search amh and related words on the ttc thread. You'll see a lady's testimony about how she conquered it. I think it was tenderchic.

With God and the right knowledge, it's curable. Cheer up!

Good evening everyone. Pls who has been diagnosed of fluid in the uterus. Pls how was it taken care of? I've had 3 failed Ivf due to fluid in the uterus. I had 2 fibroid surgeries and 1 polyps. I had laparoscopy trying to correct it but to no avail. Before I had d last Ivf; d result came out negative this morning,a friend suggested I took ajumbaise for 1month and I did o.yet no result. My husband and I have done our best. I know God has all the solution but who knows what I can do to help myself. Pls.

Hi mamas, please has anyone used either Charitos Ob, FMC Jabi, Jo Je Abebe clinic or El Rapha clinic for IVF? What is there success rate please?
I used Joje Abebe. He is good even though I had bfn. We were 4 ladies that had our embryo transfer 2 weeks ago. I was the only negative. The other 3 are positive.

Hello Mamas, please can one take Coq10 without prescription seeing that it is a supplement.
I just want to help myself by taking it so as to increase my chances of success.
Yes, CoQ10 is a supplement that can be taken without a prescription. One thing to note is that a form that is water and fat-soluble absorbs better.

OK. Thanks for your response dear. Yes I heard about the fat and water soluble. How does one even know which one is fat and water soluble? Will it be written on the body of the container? Or is it the one written soft gels?

Good day. I started my stimulation on Wednesday (short protocol). I was told yesterday that only 5 follicles measured between 12 n 14mm (4days of Gonal F 300iu n 5th day of buserelin 0.5mg) d Gonal F was increased to 375. Going for d 8th day scan tomorrow, so hoping n praying I respond better. We are doing PGD screening for genotype, so we need as much embryos as we can get. Pls anyone share their 5th day scan result/experience?

Let her take progesterone ,fruits, prenatal vitamins (the ones without inositol...Pregnacare Conception contains inositol which grows ovarian cysts/fibroids for those prone to it). I prefer Wellwoman original or Wellwoman plus.

She should also pray and rest well.

I don't have 5th day scan report yet, I will be starting stims today. Have you stimmed before? How did you respond previously?
Well, from my research, I have come to realise that some people are slow responders. What that means is that the person will just have to stim for longer period, that's all. U will stim till u get to the point they want. While for some people, they respond better towards the end of the stimulation. You have nothing to worry about. With the increment in dosage and the ample time left ur follicles will definitely grow bigger and catch up.
All the best on your tomorrow scan.
Are u on only Gonal F and Buserelin?

Just like the previous reply, progesterone is what is needed mostly at this point. Fruits, vegetables. I read that vitamin D is very good for implantation.
Other things; pineapple core from now till 3-4 days, keeping warm and less stress but not strictly bed rest.

You can get ovaboost, ubiquinol, selenium,royal jelly, myo inostol. I think they all help in all put in prayers. Search with low ovarian reserve or poor ovarian reserve you should more information

I was given two injections as well.
Buserelin(0.5ml) and Menogon (300iu).
Scan in the next 5 days, 26th.
Am on a slightly long protocol. I started down regulation with buserelin 9 days ago and started stims today being day 3 of my cycle, apparently I am continuing with it till further notice.
How did your scan go?

Good Evening Mamas.

Well, I started stims today being day 3 of my cycle (after scan confirming there is no cyst) with Menogon and buserelin (which I have been taking for down regulation for the past 9 days).
This menogon is quite painful o. The injection spot is still paining me even after hours and after hot water massage. I feel it only when I touch it. Pls any tips on how to manage this pain cos this is just the first shot o.
God help us.
Scan scheduled for Monday, 26th. Grow follicles grow!!!

Pls does anyone know about Vitamin D being good for implantation?

I got additional one. The doc is suggesting I do a 2nd round of stimulation to get more eggs coz the cost of screening 30 embroyos is same as 1 embryo. I cannot afford can afford that option, so might just screen whatever we have, or risk having SS and transfer without d screening. Will decide by tomorrow. My egg retrieval is still in 4days time, so much can still happen before then.

Good that one popped up.

Still believing that more will pop up within the next 4 days which is an ample time.

Oh dear, I understand not being able to afford a repeat stimulation to get more eggs. Times are really hard. But if you are at a risk of getting SS, you would really need to screen the embryos before transfer to avoid it. And you would stand a better chance with more eggs.
Just think about it carefully.

Praying for a better result in your next scan. When is your next scan?
Re: Anyone Trying IVF/IUI/ICSI (Fertility Treatments)? by Mummy3plets: 7:00pm On Nov 22, 2018
Tomorrow.
We have actually paid for d screening, but paying another 1m + for another cycle is beyond us. We have done our best to avoid having SS, but it seems our best just isn't enough.

Oh... It shouldn't be up to the amount you paid earlier, cos it is only stimulation and collection you will do the second time around to get more eggs to add to this one and then continue with the initial screening and transfer you have paid for.
OR did the doctor say you have to pay same amount?
Let us know the outcome of the scan tomorrow.
All the best.

Hi Mamas.

Today is day 2 of stims. Today's injection was less painful than that of yesterday. I guess the injection pain partly depends on who is giving the injection. A different nurse from yesterday gave me today's injection.

Not much of any symptoms so far. Thank God.

Oh, sorry about the side effects. What side effects did u have?
Of course I don't feel exactly like my usual self but nothing too serious. Is it because I down regulated before stimms? It is the Coq10 that gives me upset stomach for a while after taking it.

All the best in scan today.

Good days Mamas. Hope we are all doing well.

Well, today is my day 6 of stimming but before taking the injections I will have my first scan to see how I am responding.

I really pray I am responding as expected as I don't really have much of side effects even though I know that everyone is different.

Put me in your prayers..

Well, the scan was very brief.

The doctor didn't bother counting, but from the look of things, she was satisfied with what she saw. She said I should continue with same dosage.
My next and final scan before trigger is on Friday.

Can't believe I am almost done.
